McCarron (suspension) was reassigned to Nashville's taxi squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron served the second game of his two-game suspension Tuesday against Tampa Bay, so he'll be eligible to return to the Predators' lineup Thursday against Carolina if needed. He's gone scoreless through five top-level appearances this year.

McCarron (suspension) was promoted to the active roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron will serve the second of his two-game suspension during Tuesday's game versus the Lightning. The 26-year-old forward has made just five NHL appearances this season, so he's not a lock to suit up again once his suspension is lifted.

McCarron (suspension) was assigned to the taxi squad Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron is suspended through Tuesday's home game versus the Lightning, so this is purely a paper move. There's no guarantee that the 26-year-old winger will return to the lineup after his suspension is lifted, as he has made just five NHL appearances this year, posting no points and 11 hits.

McCarron was suspended two games Sunday for his illegal check to the head on Tampa Bay's Yanni Gourde during Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron committed this infraction during his first NHL appearance in over a month, so his absence won't affect the Predators too much. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old won't play in Sunday's game against the Stars or Tuesday's matchup versus the Lightning. Thomas Novak likely will slot into the lineup in McCarron's place.

McCarron will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday for his illegal check to the head on Tampa Bay's Yanni Gourde on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron was handed a match penalty for his actions, and it sounds like he could be suspended further. In turn, it's unlikely that he's eligible to play in Sunday's home game versus the Stars. The 26-year-old has played five games this year without a point.

McCarron was promoted from the taxi squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron has appeared in just four NHL games this season and has been a healthy scratch since March 11. The Predators are dealing with a handful of injuries to the forward group right now so the 26-year-old could draw into a bottom-six role for Saturday's matchup with the Lightning.

McCarron was assigned to the taxi squad Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron was elevated Saturday morning, and it appears that was just in case Ryan Johansen (undisclosed) was unavailable. Johansen gained clearance, so McCarron will go back to the taxi squad. The 26-year-old has played four games without a point this year.

McCarron was promoted to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McCarron has played just four NHL games and no AHL games this season. He'll add depth up the middle with Ryan Johansen (undisclosed) uncertain for Saturday's matchup against the Blackhawks.
